If investors don't have an ear, Kickstarter sure does, full of bold/breakthrough ideas and different eager buyers. It also belongs in this story velomobile GinzVelo, hybrid tricycle, which is in combination with a 500-watt electric motor, which is powered from lithium polymer batteries (20 Ah), capable of transporting a cyclist at car speed.

Lezikolo in armor or a shell that acts like a glider head is usable in almost all weather conditions. It is intended for one passenger, and the battery can carry it from 100 to 150 kilometers away. But this is only the range of the battery, the actual range depends on his physical fitness. However, it is necessary to know that the drive of a 40-kilogram tricycle it's not whooping cough, so don't let a dead battery get you down the hill. With the help of an electric motor, the "hard-headed" GinzVelo can travel with a speed of up to 32 km/h, if a person "intervenes", he can climb everything up to 50 km/h.
